The suggester says, "I think it's a beautiful piece. It's seductive and modern. The red glasses are brought into focus by the spillage of her gorgeous, out of focus, hair. She looks to be day dreaming about something which makes her pose look seductive. The composition of the shot also makes this a stunning piece!"

the vignette really helps distort the hair and frame the models highlighted face as it leaves the focal plane. The only alternative I would have liked to have seen would be the lack of wrinkles visible on the backdrop/sheet. I've run across this on ocassion with my portraiture when I was dealing with a shallow depth of field. Unless the dof is so shallow it cannot focus on the backdrop, you'll end up with wrinkles showing. I've found that ironing or simply tossing the backdrop in the dryer for 10-20 mins solves this for me.
